“Has Merlin’s communication resumed?”
At the medical point nearly kilometer away from the bunker base of A.i.m, Elsa looked at the beast Hank nervously. This beastly mutant with a high IQ and a violent battle was repeatedly debugging the frequency of the communicator.
Just a few minutes ago, they completely lost their communication with Merlin. As the base was destroying itself, Merlin's sudden disappearance cast a shadow on this seemingly winning mutant rescue operation.
“The communicator has no problem, and the frequency is correct.”
Hank, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, reorganized the communicator he had disassembled in his hand at a dazzling speed. The blue-haired monster in black said to Elsa:
"It's not a problem with the equipment, it should be that Merlin took the initiative to block the communication."
"Why did he do that?"
Elsa looked back at the distant base with some annoyance, and she complained:
"He always does this, and he does things wrongly, but he makes us worry about him."
"Calm down."
Sitting beside Elsa and wiping the samurai sword, the spirit butterfly also looked at the base in the distance, but compared to Elsa, she became much calmer, she said:
"Ten years ago, that little man was not afraid of the damage of the explosion. His ability made him almost impossible to be damaged by pure gunpowder weapons. Now that guy is much stronger, he will be fine."
She said with a confident look:
"Since he is sure to stay there, we should trust him. Perhaps, he is dealing with something that is inconvenient to us."
Lingdie turned around and looked at Hank, she asked:
"Wolverine is there too, right?"
"It should be."
Hank took off his glasses from his nose, and he said:
"This kind of explosion won't hurt Logan, and we have more trouble now."
Hank looked back at the mutant people behind him who were being treated urgently, and he said with some concern:
"The White Queen and Domino left after the battle. Maybe they had a premonition that we had to leave here as well. After all, this is Canada and the territory of the Mutant Brotherhood."
"There are so many people on the plane."
Ororo, a storm woman who was manipulating the warm wind and maintaining the temperature, whispered:
"Many of the fellow rescued were seriously injured, not to mention that we still have so many prisoners."
The prisoners mentioned by the Stormwoman were the researchers and some soldiers who escaped from the base later. They knew that the base was about to explode, so they threw themselves out and rushed out, but were caught by agents from S.d.o.l.d.
Now those guys are outside the healing point, guarded by Agent Jimmy and other agents.
“We have contacted the headquarters.”
Merlin is away, Elsa, as an ASUS consultant, took on the responsibility of communicating with the X-Men, and she told Hank and Ororo:
"There will be a specialized staff member who will take over this matter soon. They all involve dangerous biological experiments and illegal detention and malicious injuries. They will be put in jail and then subject to legal trials."
"This is good news."
Hank nodded, and he looked at Elsa:
"How long does it take for your people to come?"
"About 2 hours later."
Elsa looked at the time and said:
"This is an emergency, so it takes time."
“2 hours”
Hank shook his head:
"It's been too long. Although we imprisoned the spies of the Mutant Brotherhood in advance, the movement of the strong attack on the base can't be hidden from Magneto, and we must leave now."
"Swish"
As soon as Hank finished speaking, Dobby, the little devil with the toad mirror, appeared next to Elsa, and handed a quaint key to Miss Bloodstone.
Others could not see this magical creature, but Elsa received some potions since she was a child, which allowed her to have a psychic perception before completing the trial of the grass.
She is one of the few people who can see Dobi and hear it.
"Sir Merlin asked Dobby to hand this over to Miss Bloodstone."
Dobby said to Elsa with his sharp voice:
"He said this key would take you away quickly, provided that you have to find a door. The commander also said that he needed to handle some important matters, so that Miss Bloodstone and Ms. Lingdie should not worry about him, and he would return to New York after the matter was over."
"This key?"
Elsa took the key handed over by Dobi, she glanced at it and said in confusion:
"I did see Merlin using it before."
"Yes, the sir said, he gives you the right to use the key, but this time, when using the key, you must think about the placement in advance, and it is best to be an absolutely safe place."
After saying that, Dobi disappeared in a flash.
Merlin gave it another mission, and it had to complete it before the base of a.i.m exploded.
"We need a door, any door is fine, as long as there is a lock!"
Elsa, who got the key, did not hesitate. She always trusted Merlin very much in business.
Looking at the key in Elsa's hand, Lingdie curled her lips, and the beautiful mercenary said with some dissatisfaction:
"It seems that he still trusts you more. It is obvious that I met him first. He is such a heartless little man."
"snort."
Elsa said arrogantly:
"He and I are real friends. We have experienced a lot of things together."
Lingdie looked at Elsa with a strange expression, and she said:
"What's so proud of this? I'm not jealous of you. The little man had another woman's shadow in his heart. Before that shadow dissipated, you had no chance at all, poor Miss Bloodstone."
"Let's go, stop arguing."
Hank stopped the two women's argument, pointed to the black plane parked outside the canyon, which belonged to the X-Men mission, and said:
"That's the closest door to this place, although I don't know how you plan to take us away."
“It’s very simple.”
Elsa grabbed the key and rushed towards the plane that was parked hundreds of meters away, she said:
“We just need to open the door.”
A moment later, Elsa stood on the beautiful, futuristic plane of the X-Men. The gangway of the plane had been opened. Behind her, an agent was escorting a researcher in yellow clothes waiting for the door to open.
“Take us back to the 5th floor of the basement of the s.d.o.l.d..”
Elsa said something to the key in her hand, then imitated Merlin's appearance and inserted the key that completely did not match the lock into the lock of the aircraft's hatch lock.
Accompanied by the sound of the key twisting, Elsa pushed open the door, and in front of her, behind the door, it was the inside of the base that the agents were very familiar with.
"You guys go back first."
Miss ASUSHIELD turned around and said to Agent Jimmy:
"Merlin means to detain these prisoners first, and the headquarters will send someone to accept them soon."
"Um."
The agent with the combat helmet nodded, and he led the yellow prisoner into the door before him.
This is a cabin door for an airplane, so it is very narrow and only one person can pass through at a time.
Below the plane, the beast Hank looked at the unscientific door and the quaint, ordinary key with rust. He rubbed his mane-covered face with some headache and said to Ororo beside him:
"This is why I don't like magic and wizards. You always use completely unscientific things to destroy my seriousness in the world. But I still have no way to use my knowledge to explain these phenomena."
"That's because you're too stubborn, Hank."
White wizard Ororo shrugged, and she said calmly:
"Magic and science are two systems. If you insist on using science to explain magic, it can only be a self-inflicted effort. The magical creature with space attributes that Merlin possesses is an extremely complex and high-end creation even in the knowledge of a wizard. Even in my family's secret collection, there are rarely such advanced alchemy products. This must be from the hands of a certain master, and it is priceless."
"Magic, technology, in my opinion, is just a different way of explaining the world."
The beast Hank said to his companions:
"And there is always only one truth in the world, so magic and technology will eventually belong to each other in a different way and will merge together to reveal the truth of the world to us at some point in the future."
"I don't care much about this."
Ororo glanced at the mutant who was supported by the agents and was waiting to leave the Snow Mountain Canyon, and she said:
"It seems that in a dozen minutes we will be able to get out of here. Hank, you, Warren, and Summers will take your fellow citizens back to the academy. I want to stay here to confirm that Mr. Merlin is safe and sound in the end, he has helped us a lot this time."
"Um."
Hank did not object.
A few minutes later, a mutant who looked injured in his legs walked up the gangway under the help of Cyclops Summers. The mutant people who had been imprisoned for months or even years looked at the door in front of them. Most of them had a desire for freedom and fear of past disasters.
Mutants, this race, are really full of disasters.
"Thank you, kind lady."
The old mutant woman supported by Cyclops weakly thanked Elsa who was standing at the door:
"Your God will bless you."
"nothing."
Elsa said with a tense face:
"This is our duty, go in, leave here and start a new life."
"Um."
The weak old lady nodded and said:
"But it's not home across the door. I suddenly don't want to leave again."
"Um?"
The moment Elsa heard this, a dangerous perception surged in her mind. She suddenly turned backwards, and a standard tactic leaned back, and he narrowly avoided the fist that the old lady suddenly waved.
And the Cyclops that supported her were not so lucky.
The young mutant was pushed into the hatch door in front of him by the old lady who suddenly rose up. Unpredictable, the powerful mutant fell into the door. He got up and pressed the tactical eyepiece. Seeing the dangerous laser light coming out, the door was closed by the agile old lady.
The key to the mysterious house was pulled out of the hatch by her, and was slammed up and down in her hand, and then put into her pocket.
She looked back at the storm woman Ororo who was rushing towards her under the chaos, steering the wind towards her. The old lady's face and body changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she became another man with an ordinary face.
‘He’s smiled at Ororo with a strange expression, then flashed, and jumped down from the gangway of the plane like a flexible monkey, and mixed into the chaotic crowd, as if ink had melted into the pool.
"It's Raven!"
Ororo in the air shouted to Hank below:
"She snatched the key! Stop her!"
"Be careful, avoid it!"
The next moment, Elsa, who had climbed up from the ground, screamed and rushed onto the storm girl, rushing Ororo from the air to the ground on one side. Just as the two entangled girls left the place, a heavy, whistling scrap steel was like a sharp sword falling from the sky, inserted into the X-Men's plane.
It was like a giant's fist that completely smashed the wings of the beautiful plane.
"Friends, don't panic, no one will hurt you."
A low voice sounded over the snow, covered in blood, pierced by several twisted steel bars, and the angel Warren, who bound his wings behind him, also fell from the sky like a falling eagle, and accurately hit Hank's feet.
The white, blood-stained feathers scattered in the air, bringing a different feeling of desolation.
Between the chaotic magnetic resonance, Magneto Eric Lancheer, wearing a dark red helmet and a black robe, spread his hands out and slowly fell from the air like a savior.
"Magnett!"
Hank shouted angrily:
"What the hell are you going to do? They are our fellow countrymen, are you crazy?"
"quiet!"
Magneto Eric, who hovered in the air, looked at Hank with a cold look, and he said:
"It is why I came here and took our fellow countrymen, our brothers, to their true home, a country that belongs only to mutants."
"Only there, they will not be persecuted. Charles, my stubborn and soft-hearted old friend sticks to his belief in weakness, and only rely on you who are equally weak can not save thousands of suffering people."
Magneto's fingers flicked gently in the air, and behind him, the plane pierced by steel bars began to tremble quickly.
Screws, steel bars, those complex and precise instruments, engines, cockpits, etc. are like real magic. Countless pairs of invisible hands move at the same time. In just a few seconds, this huge plane was easily disintegrated and then reorganized under the control of Magneto's will.
The solid metal is easily twisted, and the complex instruments are changed in shape, just like the world's greatest engineers designing amazing works.
In Elsa's stunned gaze, the plane was quickly transformed by Magneto into a strange-looking thing, similar to a super-large passenger car.
"Bang"
The door of the car opened outwards.
Magneto looked at the rescued mutants below and whispered:
"It's time to go on the road, brothers."
Chapter completed!
